Mike Dillard is a serial entrepreneur based in Austin, TX. Initially building his reputation and fortune in the early 2000’s with his book Magnetic Sponsoring introducing internet-based “attraction marketing” and personal branding concepts which revolutionized the entire network marketing industry at the time.

In 2010 he founded a financial education company called, “The Elevation Group” in order to teach others how to achieve financial freedom through investment strategies commonly reserved for the wealthy. In 2014, the company was sold to the current proprietors who carry on its mission.

In 2015, Mike took on a completely new challenge and spent the next 2.5 years personally funding a project focused on the decentralization of the agricultural industry through the first fully-automated hydroponic system in the world for food production called “EverGrow”. Ultimately, EverGrow did not make it to market but is considered to be one of his proudest achievements as an entrepreneur. 

Today, Mike is the host of the Mike Dillard podcast (formerly called The Self Made Man) which to date, has received more than 5 million downloads and has been listed as one of the top 10 “must listen” personal development podcasts in the world.
